Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical head device, an optical
recording device, and an optical recording method, and an object of the present
invention is to enable to acquire optimum recording characteristics of an optical
recoding medium having multiple data layers, with respect to each of the
multiple data layers without increasing learning time required for learning a
relation between aberration amount and optimum recording compensation with
respect to each of the multiple data layers. To accomplish this object, the
optical head device, the optical recording device, and the optical recording
method of the present invention are constructed such that the wavefront
converting means 4 is driven in such a manner as to reduce the aberration
amount detected by the aberration detecting means 12. The output controlling
means 13 holds learned data as to the relation between the driving amount of
the wavefront converting means 4 and the output of the light source 1, and
controls the output of the light source 1 based on the driving amount of the
wavefront converting means 4 and the learned data.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une nouvelle sous-structure d'un écran électroluminescent diélectrique à film épais et un écran électroluminescent diélectrique à film épais présentant ladite sous-structure. La sous-structure comporte une couche barrière entre un substrat et une couche diélectrique de film épais. La couche barrière est chimiquement inerte par rapport au substrat et la couche diélectrique de film épais et la couche barrière inhibent la diffusion d'au moins une espèce chimique. La sous-structure fait preuve d'une capacitance plus élevée pour la couche diélectrique épaisse assurant ainsi une luminance de l'écran plus importante et une tendance réduite à une interruption diélectrique de la couche diélectrique épaisse. La couche barrière permet l'utilisation de substrats à moindres coûts, notamment le verre.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil de serrage pour une colonne de direction réglable d'un véhicule. Cet appareil comprend au moins deux plaques (1, 2) qui coulissent l'une contre l'autre et qui peuvent être serrées l'une contre l'autre. Plus de deux plaques peuvent être utilisées pour former un paquet de plaques. Dans une variante, les plaques comprennent des surfaces de serrage qui coulissent l'une contre l'autre et qui peuvent entrer en contact l'une avec l'autre, les surfaces de serrage des deux plaques étant constituées de matériaux de différentes duretés. Lors de l'utilisation, le matériau le plus mou de l'une des plaques se déforme sous l'effet du frottement du matériau de la plaque dure, ce qui accroît le frottement au démarrage et la force de frottement et, par conséquent, convertit la force de frottement en un pur effort imposé par la charge.

Abstract: The application relates to data messaging such as e.g. email and SMS and in particular to a sender-specified mechanism of how to notify the recipient of an incoming message. At present, a sender which determines late in the evening a need to send an important message but does not want to disturb the recipient would have to wait until the next morning to send the message, potentially forgetting to do that. 
     The application solves this problem in that a sender may specify a notification parameter defining a delay and send the parameter in association with the data message to a recipient. The recipient's receiving device (300) evaluates the parameter and notifies in response. Received data messages subject to delayed notification may be hidden by the receiving device or quietly displayed (e.g. as per other received messages) until the expiry of the delay.

digital image data. The first and second digital image data are mixed at the ratio
defined by the extracted mixing-ratio information. Thus, images can be mixed
together with the α blending technique without having to use any special memory such
as the α memory.
